At least on VMWare ESX 3.5.0 build 110271, VMWare Tools compile just fine in Ubuntu 8.04 kernel 2.6.24-19-server, without any special incantation . I cannot say VMWare Server, though. I know this is not useful in the context of this specific bug, but I thought it would be worth noting as other people have added comments with various hacks to compile VMWare Tools on ESX 3.0.2.
